Why do so many right wing evangelical protestants support the war with Iraq? How many more American soldiers will have to die to make the religous right happy?
It amazes me that a lot of the religous right support this war, even though the Iraqi gov't is anti-semitic!

American soldiers will continue to be killed until they cease to occupy and torment the land of the Iraqis. So if they support the war continuing, they support the death of american soldiers.

My opinion----------gads! I wish I didn't think this opinion will take the country clear down the drain.
Bush is not a very intelligent man, by no means! His right wing evangelical Christians make him feel important, and he feeds on it. He thinks G-d talks to him -said so on TV (or was it Jesus?). It is his duty to take democracy and Christianity to the Mid-east.............to save their souls? It will take decades for new presidents to correct all the wrongs done by these people. The whole world hates us.
And, to top it off, I swear that man is wanting to take us to war with Iran---to show how important he is. We are quagmired in Afghanistan, and maybe Iraq was good as Saddam is out---but, the war was never run with enough men and enough thought behind it. Former Secretary of State M. Albright said she asked at a meeting what the next step would be after we had taken Iraq. The reply was that they'd face that when the time came. Ha! Scary, isn't it?

Republicans are for big business. The United Council of Churches donated millions to the Bush campaign.
Religious organizations are big business. The wealthyest organizations in the country. Bush owns oil wells in Kuwait and has 8 years while in office to get oil wells in Iraq.
His children and other rich kids don't go to war. Only poor kids die in Iraq. Chaney owns Halburton and it is raking in trillions of dollars. While religions support bush they take money out of the school programs and to help the elderly and the poor.
they have to look like they are respectable so they go for people who traditionally don't vote. Like gays who want to be married.
Like who cares? Or unwed mothers who want an abortion.
There not voting and they didn't stop them anyway. But they appeared to try. Which gave them respectability.
Then they put down liberals who want to save the earth so we can breath the air. They say those terrible Democrats and people are stupid enough to believe that saving the air is a bad thing. So let's keep dropping bombs. Save the world.
Actually that is what is happening in Louisiana. the oil company's have been wanting that land alone the coast for oil refinery's for years and the people wouldn't sell. Well, they are buying it up now for practically nothing. when they get it all purchased then miraculously the dikes will be repaired.
Everything is a game and people are so fooled.

it would be constructive in the event that they might end calling themselves Christian yet they have been fooled into believing they are Christians. The Antichrist faith might fool even the decide on if it have been attainable. they do no longer save on with the instructions of Christ, they save on with the instructions of the Catholic Church.(Even some denominations that have claimed to alter into self sustaining from from the Catholic church have carried the countless teachings with them) in spite of the shown fact that in case you study the Bible, you will additionally understand that an Antichrist will look. this is going to be a faith having a variety of godliness yet denying it somewhat is ability. (A fake Christ in case you will) Does it somewhat marvel you that it somewhat is occurring? The Bible warned us it became going to take place. the unhappy section is that it provides God a foul call. human beings look at them and picture they are Christians whilst in actuality, Christ isn't between them. And Jesus will say "faraway from me all you who do evil, I on no account knew you". EDIT: enable the thumbs down start up. no longer a properly-liked concept... yet presently, it somewhat is not any longer the favored notions that are Biblical.

You're reaching into Rousseau's "Social Contract", and as a Christian myself, it's something I can't answer as to why I support our action in Iraq, but I do. I do have faith in my God and in the United States of America, and I'll defend both with all my might. Go back through the last 16 years of news and you'll see why I believe in what we're doing over there, even though you might not agree with it.

Probably because we didnt want............
Saddam Hussein arming terrorists with chemical weapons....
More bombs strapped to people to kill Israelis with the payments coming from Iraq.....
The oppression of Saddams regime..........
The continued defiance of Saddam to the UN Security Council and the US......
Keep up in the news much liberal? On Sept 11th 2 jetliners crashed into the World Trade Center or the "twin towers" and altogether caused the death of over 5000 americans in 1 day, After that, it was time to have a different policy in the Middle East. These idiots like Iraq and Iran that harbor and arm terrorists need to be restructured with democracy so that freedom rather than islamic facism governs the people.

Be glad we took teh war to the terrorist on THEIR soil so we don't have to fight it here.
No attacks in the USA in 5 years since 9/11.......hmmmmmmmm
Just think, if we didn't take it to them and they were able to bring it back here, the next attack might have involved you or your loved ones
You should thank Bush, not criticize him.
I'm betting you don;'t even know what "anti-semitic" means.

(a) Because they are idiots.
(b) 1,000 - 2,000 / year seems a good number for them ... it's not enough to create a serious stir amongst the populace, but still significant.
(c) Ask Ghandi what he thought of Christianity.
